What really dull thing have you done with the Vec today?

Went out to start her before. Thought I'd get rid of the condensation at the bottom of the screen and give it a clean with the washers because it was filthy. Squirted the windscreen, watched the water freeze as soon as it hit the windscreen then watched the wipers pull what was left right over the windscreen so I had a uniform layer of ice all over.

Ho hum.

So, what really dull thing have you done with your Vec today?

Left it in the Garage, where the ****** thing can stay until this snow goes away, I've never had a Car that behaves as badly in the White stuff in 26 years of driving!

Should have used screen wash. I always carry a 'Fairy Liquid' bottleful of it ready to squirt onto the screen without using the wipers which will just spread the dust and dirt across the screen.

I once (never again!) used the wipers on the motorway when it was -3 degrees. A true Homer Simpson moment.

Broke the rear wiper blade trying to get the snow off it. Then driving it in said snow

Left it in the Garage and used my wife's Honda CR-V 4x4 laughing at all the suckers with 2WD (esp RWD)

I looked at the engine for 20minutes debating on whether or not to do the gearbox oil - it was too cold at -5.5deg c...
